Bigfoot Silva expected to make his UFC debut in May
By Guilherme Cruz
Brazilian heavyweight Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva hasn’t fought since his first round loss to undefeated Daniel Cormier on Strikeforce Heavyweight GP semifinal, and is waiting for a definition about his future in the UFC.
According to sources close to the situation, Silva already started his camp and is expected to make his UFC debut in May, but opponent and exact date remain undefined.
Right after signing with the UFC, Bigfoot has been involved in rumors about a possible bout against former champion Cain Velasquez, but the organization rather match Velasquez up with Frank Mir.
Until this moment, UFC has three confirmed shows for May: UFC on FOX 3 (5th), UFC on Fuel TV (15th) and UFC 146 (26th).

Gonzaga
Russow
Nelson
are the best options IMO

Let him destroy Russow. That fat slob keeps winning unimpressively, so in fairness he deserves a step-up. I don't think for a second he can hang with a top 15 HW though. Would be fun watching him get his *** handed to him by Bigfoot.
